Chapter 694 The 5th Offender, Wenban Yama!
Wenbanyama let out a loud growl and then waved his fist toward his bench.
Wenbanyama had a very frustrating game.
This Chinese man, even darker-skinned than him, followed him around like a persistent leech.
When he plays, he plays; when he rests, he rests.
This guy doesn't look very tall, but he's surprisingly fast.
Even when Wenban Yama made a last-minute, desperate shot, it was blocked by this dark-skinned guy.
This is unacceptable to Wenban Yama.
He knew this guy was just a fringe player for the Trail Blazers.
It's unacceptable for the newly crowned NBA shot-blocking champion to have his shot blocked by such a fringe player.
Wang Xiucheng received the ball from Zhou Qi outside the baseline and slowly dribbled it to the frontcourt.
He gave David Muoka a look, and David Muoka immediately brought Wenban Yama to the outside to cover for Wang Xiucheng.
After several rotations, Wang Xiucheng was finally assigned to guard Wenban Yama.
This is another reason why Wenbanyama played so poorly in tonight's game.
Wang Xiucheng kept switching guards on him tonight.
After committing two fouls, he no longer dared to attempt to block Wang Xiucheng.
He simply couldn't tell whether Wang Xiucheng was shooting, making a layup, or a step-up layup!
Suddenly, Wen Ban Yama saw Wang Xiucheng break through to the right, so he immediately moved to the right as well.
However, Wang Xiucheng stopped after one step, pulled the ball between his legs and stepped back, then stepped back again as he caught the ball, and immediately released the shot in a single motion.
Wenbanyama was half a beat behind, but he still jumped up to block the shot.
Even he couldn't touch the ball.
The basketball plummeted into the net like a shooting star.
Swish!
Three-pointer scored!
The score was tied again at 87-87.
In the next two rounds, neither side managed to score.
However, in the next possession, Vanbanyama easily slammed home a one-handed dunk in the paint.
In the next round, Wenban Yama finally found an opportunity and blocked Wang Xiucheng's shot.
Then, after returning, he made a mid-range shot and drew a foul from David Muoka.
In overtime, Riven and Amazon finally erupted.
With one minute left in overtime, Wimbanyama had scored eight consecutive points.
With these 8 points, the French team is now leading 92-89 by 3 points.
Like the French team, all 5 points for the Chinese team were also scored by Wang Xiucheng.
Overtime was now entirely a duel between Wenban Yama and Wang Xiucheng.
In the final minute, Hebei China Fortune had possession of the ball.
Wang Xiucheng dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.
The French team knew that Wang Xiucheng would definitely come on his own, but they dared not choose the double-team tactic at this moment.
At this moment, if Wang Xiucheng passes the ball to an open player, then the Chinese team will have an open three-point shot opportunity.
They can't take risks, they can't gamble on the Chinese team's form.
David Mullaka brought out Wenban Yama again, and Wang Xiucheng switched to defend Wenban Yama once more.
Wenban Yama is on high alert. Although he has only played two games against the Nets this season, he has already gained a deep understanding of "time of the king".
But this doesn't mean he's given up on the idea of sealing it.
When Wang Xiucheng broke into the paint again and stepped back once more, this time Wenban Yama, who was prepared, did not jump directly but took a step forward.
This slight delay allowed him to see that Wang Xiucheng had taken another step back.
It's still a double step-back!
Wenban Yama leaped up instantly, his long arms reaching towards the sky!
This time it will definitely be covered!
The entire stadium rose to their feet, especially the French fans, who were all eagerly anticipating the sound of the basketball being swatted away.
But what they got in return was a crisp "whoosh" sound!
That's the sound of a basketball going through the net!
At this moment in the Mauroy Stadium, this sound is so beautiful and so melodious!
Many people covered their heads in astonishment, looking incredulous.
With a whistle, just as the entire stadium fell silent, the referee blew his whistle.
The next moment, the referee pointed at Wenban Yama and made a hand-hitting foul gesture!
Immediately afterwards, the Maurois Stadium exploded.
The Chinese team's substitutes were the first to react.
All the Chinese players stood up and shouted loudly, banging on the advertising boards to vent their excitement.
Then came all the Chinese fans in the stadium.
Although France, the host country of tonight's Olympics, deliberately sold more tickets to French fans, the Chinese fans still shouted loudly.
The red flags were waved like giant red dragons, soaring above the Mauroy Stadium.
"The three-pointer went in, and Wang Xiucheng got a free throw."
Yang Yi, who was in the CCTV live broadcast room, had already shouted, "Fadeaway shot, Wang Xiucheng's double step-back and fadeaway shot!"
"This ball didn't even get interfered with by Wenban Yama, it only hit Wang Xiucheng's wrist."
"The call was indisputable, but French coach Vincent Colley challenged it because it was Wembanyama's fifth foul."
"Vincent Colley must challenge him, or Vembanyama will be sent off!"
Yang Yi stood there shouting, and Yu Jia tried to say something several times but couldn't get a word in edgewise.
Yang Yi wasn't like this before, why is he like this now!
The match has been paused; the French team is now taking the challenge.
Wang Xiucheng stood on the sidelines, reached out and high-fived his teammates, then plopped down on the bench.
The team doctor that Wang Xiucheng brought with him from the Nets immediately came over to massage his shoulders.
Behind him, in the fan section, Fan Chengcheng's voice had long since become hoarse from shouting, but he was still shouting loudly.
Fan Bing, who was standing next to him, ignored him and just looked at Wang Xiucheng in the distance.
At this moment, she finally understood why Wang Xiucheng was the top star in China.
Men who bring glory to their country are indeed the most handsome!
After reviewing the video, the referees ultimately upheld their decision.
The score is tied again at 92-92.
Wang Xiucheng will also need to take an additional penalty.
If this penalty is successful, Hebei China Fortune will take the lead.
The decision drew loud boos from the French fans in the stadium, who even made obscene gestures towards the referee.
They felt offended!
Wenbanyama scored 8 points in overtime and was ejected at this point. Can you honestly say you didn't do it on purpose?
This is France, aren't you afraid you won't be able to leave France?
Regardless of the circumstances, the ruling cannot be changed.
The competition has resumed.
Wang Xiucheng went to the free-throw line, received the ball from the referee, spun it around, patted it, spun it around again, and then shot it...
With a whoosh, the penalty kick goes in.
Wang Xiucheng did not employ the tactic of penalizing players who could not score.
France still has Gobert as a tall player, so this tactic is a bit risky. It would be safer to secure a point.
France's next attack failed to find the net, but Wang Xiucheng's singles attack for China also failed to score.
With nine seconds remaining, France still has one last chance to attack.
With Wenbanyama, a strong point, out of the game, it's highly likely that Fournier will have possession of the ball for the French team.
Wang Xiucheng guarded Fournier the whole time, and Fournier had no chance to shoot. With 3 seconds left in the game, he lobbed the ball to Gobert in the paint.
Gobert used an unconventional move to hook the ball toward the basket.
Although Zhou Qi tried his best to jump and interfere, he still couldn't touch the basketball.
With a beep!
The final whistle blew.
With a loud thud, the sound of the basketball hitting the rim rang out at the same time.
Everyone looked at the basket. The basketball hovered on the rim for a moment, and then finally fell into the basket.
Swish!
The ball goes in!
